Overview
The Space Pirate home world is one of the locations visited by
Samus Aran in
Metroid Prime 3: Echoes. The planet is plagued by perpetual acid rain that will greatly damage anything unprotected, including Samus'
Chozo power suit. The planet seems to be entirely artificial and covered entirely with
Space Pirate architecture, which is not surprising considering the perpetual pall of acid rain that would kill any flora and fauna that existed. The planet was the first to be corrupted by a Leviathan in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, allowing
Dark Samus to control much of the Space Pirate forces as they succumbed to
Phazon Madness. The corruption in the Space Pirate home world spread very quickly, possibly due to the Space Pirates' attempts to
reproduce and study Phazon for their own use.
The main inhabitants of the Space Pirate home world are, unsurprisingly, Space Pirates, as well as a number of
Metroid test subjects. What fauna that does exist on the Space Pirate home world is confined to indoor areas, and resemble creatures on
Zebes, probably brought back and metaphysically enhanced to survive in the harsh conditions. Samus also faces a Phazon-mad
Gandrayda here, along with Phazon-enhanced Omega
Ridley deep in the Leviathans core.
